So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints πŸ’— This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before. I'd also frowned upon them a wee bit, but these were surprising nice to use πŸ™‚ http://www.stephcoley.com http://www.facebook.com/StephanieSianColeyFineArtist Comments, likes, shares & subscribers are always welcomed πŸ’— ______ Music: Someday Musician: Alexander Delarge URL: https://icons8.com/music

As with all of my others, this is done in ink pen & acrylic, on top of some appropriately found collage pieces...

You can find 3 more in Blackwell, Newton & Hilcote. Art packs to accompany these 4 windows will be available soon. It feels slightly odd not rolling paper today, but I'm not complaining πŸ€“ My little window lights up at around 3.30 every afternoon. If anyone in the village spots the window in darkness one day, do let me know and I'll change the batteries πŸ‘ πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

This week is Transgender Awareness Week πŸ³οΈβ€ This week is Transgender Awareness Week πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ In a spectacularly shitty year, it's been rather heartwarming to see so many positive trans supportive posts across social media today 😊 Much love to you all πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’— If you're not massively aware of trans issues (there are lots!!!) and would like to be... Just ask 😊 Transgender people still face abuse, discrimination, violence and hate. Being transgender is illegal or criminalised in many countries. The suicide rate amongst transgender people is still alarmingly high and most transgender people have thought about suicide at some point. NHS waiting times for treatment remains insanely long in the UK. The current going rate is around 3 years. Transgender bureaucracy still remains insanely complicated, tedious and costly in many countries. It's why this week matters πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’— (319/366) #photoadaychallenge #transgender #transition #gender #transgenderawareness #female
